It seems that there was a sign called "Jusaburokan" around here.

There's no remnants right now.

In 2019, Rosmari was transferred to Ningyocho.

Three and a half years ago, the Jusablo Museum had already been closed.

I wanted to see the exhibition.

・・・ In addition, Tsujimura Jusaburo Ningyokan in Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, where Mr. Tsujimura was born, seems to be still open on display.

・・・ There is such an explanation board at the end of the Jusabro Hall and 3-6-7 Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

Sakaimachi is said to have been reclaimed in the swamps during the Keicho era (1596-1615), and by the time of Meiji 2 (1656), Kami-Sakaimachi in the western half was divided as Fukiya-cho, Shimo-Sakaimachi in the eastern half remained as Sakaimachi.

During the Edo period, playhouses and teahouses surrounding them were gathered around this area, and it was very busy.

Among the playhouses, there were Nakamura-za and Ichimura-za (other than Morita-za near Ginza 6-chome), which performed Kabuki, among the performances of the government called Edo Sanza, and there were also many playhouses in puppet ballad drama.

Nakamura-za, the leader of Edo Sanza, was Kansaburo Saruwaka, who moved from Kyoto to Edo, and in the first year of Kanei (1624), Saruwakaza (later Nakamura-za) was changed to Nakahashi Nanchi (now Kyobashi). Around 1-chome), which became the birthplace of Edo Kabuki, which is connected to the present.

In 1632, he moved to Negimachi (now around 1-chome Nihonbashi Horidomecho), and in Keian 4 (1651), moved to Shimo-Sakaimachi, and at the time of the second generation Kanzaburo, Nakamura named his last name Nakamura "Nakamuraza".

During this time, in Sakaimachi, Miyakoza was founded in Kami-Sakaimachi in 1633 and Murayama-za (later Ichimura-za) was established in 1634.

puppet ballad drama came down from Kyoto ahead of Kabuki.

In the same area of Nakahashi as Saruwakaza, the performance seems to have begun in Genna 3rd year (1617).

After moving to Negimachi in 1632, it was moved to Shimo-Sakaimachi in 1651.

There were many playhouses in puppet ballad drama, including Edo, Satsuma, Tamba, Temma, Tosa, Toraya (*), and Hizen.

The playhouse in Sakaimachi and Fukiya-cho stood up from 1-chome to 3-chome (currently around 6-chome Asakusa, Taito-ku) from Tempo 13 (1842) to the following 14 years due to the reform of Tenpo. Until it was moved, it was here around 200 years ago.

In recent years, excavations have been conducted at Nihonbashi Ningyocho 3-chome, and relics related to teahouses and plays have also been excavated.

During the Edo period, this area was very lively as a "play town" where many playhouses and teahouses surrounding them gathered.

Among the playhouses, there were Nakamuraza and Ichimuraza, who performed Kabuki, among the performances of the government called Edo Sanza, and there were many other playhouses in puppet ballad drama.

These playhouses were here for about 200 years until they were relocated to Asakusa due to the reform of Tenpo.
